AN AGED SINNER.

REDsToNE JUNCTION, Pa, Dec. %
Word has been received here that Elihu
Gregg, who for fifty years has been the
terror of the border farmers of Pennsyl-
vania, West Virginia, Ohio and Maryland,
was found dead few days ago with a
bullet hole in his breast. Gregg was over
50 years old, had just been released from a
term in prison in this county for horse
stealing, and Went at once to West Fir-
ginia, swearing tn, he would kill certain
persons, whom he charged with treachery
to him. 1t is supposed that he met his
death at the hands of one OF those noun
taneers while striving to cary out the
threat. Gregg was a desperate character.
and in his long career as a horse and cattle
thief he managed to elude justice with
rare cunning and skill.

the last election The following resolt-
tions We're passed:
I'VE commend TO the consideration of
the Democratic National committee the
propriety Of holding the national conven-
ton of 1883 in the city of New York. The
loyalty of the Democratic party of this
city deserves the recognition which we
request on their behalf, while the
Accommodations for the delegates which can
be here provided far exceeds that which
can be offered in any other city in this
country.
We favor the prompt and speedy enact
ment by the congress of the United States
of such measures as will reduce the sur
plus now accumulated in the treasury,
and limit the revenue to the needs of the
government; but we demand American
labor shall be zealously respected.

The Trial Trip Of the Chicago Proves ;
Grand Success.

NEW YORK. Dec. 22-"How about the
trial trip of the Chicago?" was the question
asked one of the engineer officers by re-
porter.
cit was grand success in every partic-
ular," was the reply. as the gentleman
stopped figuring on what was apparently a
diagram of the workings of the engine,
and what is called an indicator card. AS
there had been some doubts upon the sub
iect of the vessel having made the proper
amount of horse power, the exact quantity
of which was not determined on the day OF
her steam trial, the reporter asked
the direct question as to what
had been accomplished, and was
informed that the main engines made
about 4, $50 horsepower. and to this was TO
be added what was done by the circulating
pumps, blower, engines and compartment
pumps. and in fact all the auxiliary pumps
and engines for the working of which
steam and horse power are required. which
brings the grand total up to about eighty
horse power over what the contract called
for or, in other words, about 5000 a few
more or less, making but little difference
as long as the required number is exceeded.
The navy departments order, received to-
day, to have the work of mastering her at
once proceeded with, indicates that she
will be accepted as a regular vessel of the
navy and made ready for cruising purposes
as rapidly as possible, and to carry out
the order she will in a few days be moved
from her present position at the ordnance
wharf to more convenient place for
handling her sparS and getting them in
place. Meanwhile the unfinished portion
of her battery will be pushed toward com
pletion in order that there may be no delay
in getting her out The electric lighting
plant will also be very soon ready for trial,
ana experts say that she is model for for
all larger vessels to follow in the way the
wires have been run and the general plan
of the instalment which is being put in by
the Edison company. under the supervision
of Lieut.. Veeder of the navy.
